Thanks.
Re. the DS game stuff...I don't own any DS games on VC. Is it worth quickly picking something up from the eShop, like Brain Training, so I can take advantage of the rom injection? Before Nintendo takes anything down or makes it difficult to do so...?
Yes do it now...follow the guide I wrote.
I don't think it would save though right? Or do Wii U supports save states on n64
Robin64
Member
Yeah, it does save states. So while you couldn't use the game's own saving mechanic, you could use those instead.
I was reading on GBATemp that some people got it working on 5.5.1. Or except I read it wrong.
So, no help? Can nobody tell me what's going on and how to fix this?

Seems later in the thread people figure stuff out, yeah.
"You dont need to launch pygecko if you just launch loadiine, you can launch it, and go into GX2 settings, enable pygecko there, and exit out of MiiMaker, launch the disk and voila, you got TCP enabld."
Ok I'm going to try this now with the disc version and loadiine.

Quoting for the new page.
I'd like to know this too. I have one of those flash carts where I ripped DS games for my DS Lite, but I haven't used it in AGES.
It's safe. The Wii U thinks you are using Mii Maker. No.
You'd need an original DS (not DSi or 3DS) and a DS flash cart, or external hardware.
Unsure, sorry. I have the same firmware you have and everything went fine
Btw, I am experiencing something weird: once I run through the website I see two Homebrew launchers icons... wtf?
The second one actually seems to be Loadiine, but why is it shown with the same icon and name as the HBL? Did I miss some icon file somewhere?
Robin64
Member
Does you loadiine folder contain the proper icon and meta xml files? If those are missing, it might just use defaults.
Pancakes R Us
Member
Is that your guide in the OP, and if not, can you link it please?
You can use a DS Lite also.
I downloaded the loadiine gx2 app from the loadiine.ovh . I cant find the settings to enable pygecko there. Am I using a wrong version of the app?
It is indeed missing them, yeah. Where are they?
I downloaded Loadiine from here (it's the latest nightly), was it a mistake? I have only the elf file.
That's all you need, the other pieces is just fluff
Okay, but where are the icon and the meta.xml file then?
Edit: nvm sorry found them, they were in the stable version in case anyone else needs them.
Robin64
Member
Fluff or not, it's nice to have it looking right
Download the latest stable version from here. Use the icon.png and meta.xml from there, but continue using the .elf file you already have. This old one won't work in 5.5.1.

Thanks. I take it that the PC bit isn't possible on OSX? (the dumping part, anyway)
Anyone have a full list of DS game codes to use with Loadiine ?
AdvanceScene gives me some IDs, but the one that worked with Ghost Trick was [AXMW84] that is nowhere to be found there

You load the site once and then the exploit runs until your Wii is turned off or rebooted.
Once you load something via the homebrew channel, you can exit to the home menu and then simply accessing the Mii Maker takes you back.
They can be literally anything as long as they are four letters and then 01. Eg. [XXXX01]. Just make up your own.

I can't seem to connect to the eShop. This seems to have happened after I switched the DNS setting to the one recommended in the OP.
My secondary DNS is set to 000.000.000.000.
I'm getting error code 105-4207, which is explained here:
http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/wf...?error_code=105-4207&system=Wiiu&locale=en_US
It says that it could be to do with Nintendo's network status, but the status page says it's fine:
http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/network/en_na/network_status.jsp
One of my Runbow update downloads has failed in download management. When I do a connection test in the internet settings, it's fine, no problems.
Any ideas as to how I can fix this / what could be up?

So, has anyone else tried injecting Heart Gold/Soul Silver? The overworld graphics glitch out on me every time I open the menu or finish a battle and I'm not sure what the problem is. I tried putting it over Mario Kart DS and Metroid Prime Hunters, but the problem is still there regardless of which game I put it over.
Will the eshop games stop working if a new firmware comes out?
I have it working. Check the xcxgecko thread on gbatemp. I can't really post the link since I'm on my phone

When you guys are talking about injecting DS games, does this work for 3DS? I would kill to play Majoras mask remaster on the big screen.

No, because there's no 3DS Virtual Console for the Wii U.

Argh, this makes sense. I'll have to switch back to auto to buy Brain Age. I'm down on eShop credit by less than $1! Argh. Need to get on the BST thread to buy some credit.
Hi there, I'm Dambrosi and I'm officially an idiot who can't read.
To those who are similarly confused: the url you need to browse to is http://loadiine.ovh, with two "i"'s (so NOT "LoadLine" but "Loadeen", if that makes sense). After that, everything should work fine.
Don't forget to change the Wii U's DNS settings to avoid updates! But beware - you'll lose eShop access if you do!

Looks like I will try this today. I gotta run out and get a SD card big enough to hold my games. Wish you could use an external USB drive like on the Wii.
Just to verify if you have a game that runs off a disc you are able to dump it and then launch without using the DVD right? My DVD drive has been making funky noises for a couple weeks and I am scared its going to die soon.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
I too can confirm loadiine works on that fw version.

What exactly does that DNS setting do?
Allows all internet activity but just blocks system updates?

I think it blocks a lot more than that. You can't access eShop with it.

Thanks guys, that worked!
Damn, the 2x internal resolution thing is amazing! Looks great even on a big screen.

^ cool thanks.
Well I changed the DNS, even though I'm not tinkering with homebrew today. I might as well preserve this firmware in case Nintendo nukes all the exploits and 5.5.1 is the way forward to greater developments.

OK, so I go to buy Brain Training from the eShop (since the DDD tutorial recommends Brain Age as the go-to DS wrapper app, and Brain Training is the EU name for that game) and the eShop tells me that I purchased it previously, and lets me download it for free! I don't remember buying the game at all, so is my brain desperately in need of retraining or is something else going on? Cool beans regardless.

I think it was a free download in Europe, but don't quote me on this.
